Happy New Year, Back to School & Cold Temps!

Weekdays:

• Monday - Joe left early in the AM - 715a flight.  Thankful for Clint who drove him but I still got up to say my goodbyes.  I was up and moving though by 8a b/c Connor had a basketball camp from 9-1130a with several of his buddies.  He then hung at home for a bit before heading up to the high school for some scrimmaging with his team and the A team.  Clint went up to help the coaches so they were there from 200-330p.  Once home, Connor started watching college football and fell asleep on the floor cuddling the dog bed.  He was exhausted!!

Tired boy!

• Tuesday - Happy NYE!!  Another 8a day with another basketball camp from 900-1130a.  This time Connor's basketball buddy, Seb - short for Sebastian, came over for a playdate afterward until about 3p.  During the play date, Maci ran up to Fusion Infiniti for a TFE training session - 1200-130p.  She was happy that she had something to do during the majority of Connor's play date, even though she is a Seb fan.  Once Seb left, we chilled a bit, watched some TV - finished the new season of Virgin River and ate some Tortilla soup from the crock pot.  We played NFLopoly, watched law and orders, puzzled and colored right up until the ball drop.  A super chill and cozy ringing in of '25!

The TFE Crew at Training

• Wednesday - Happy '25!!  We all slept in and Clint and I took a SUPER COLD walk to start the year.  Connor went over to Anna's house for some NY ice skating on her neighborhood pound so he was gone most of the afternoon.  Once home, we all settled in for the OSU butt whooping over the Oregon ducks! Them buckeyes are looking real good :)

Somehow they don't notice the cold the way we do!

• Thursday - The kids headed back to school and Clint and I to work.  However, most people we work with took off the rest of the week.  Therefore, I worked from home and it was a pretty light schedule.  Trying to remember where we left things off, catching up with those co-workers who were back around etc.  Maci did a soccer training at Infiniti from 630-730p, I took her to and from.  Then Clint and Connor headed to the launch of his hitting clinic for baseball from 745-900p.

Friday:

• Pretty chill day on the work front for both of us.
• Rosie got groomed and looks so awesome and fluffy!
• Connor and Clint headed to his basketball practice at 6p.
• Maci and I went up to the High School basketball game at 7p and Clint/Connor met us at halftime after practice ended.
• The Wayzata team was on fire and won by over 40 OUCH!  But fun to watch.

Saturday:

• So freaking cold!
• Clint started the day with an 8a massage.
• He and Connor then headed to the baseball preseason clinic for his age from 1000-1130a
• Maci and I got ourselves moving so we were ready once they were home as we had to hustle out to St Paul for Connor's basketball games at 1 & 2p.
• Game 1 - L against the scrappy street ball team we had beat by 1 point last time
• Game 2 - W and our boys took out all aggression from game 1 on this team - won by at least 15
• Headed home for a quick cat nap and then off to the Cassem's for our mommy & me holiday family party.
• The girls loved their skincare gifts and Connor/Emmitt loved the flashy chains they got HAHA
• We enjoyed a good meal and then everyone watched my Bengals get their final W.
• We all headed home around 10p but Maci stayed behind to spend the night with Natalie. I crashed with a smile after a great team W/winning season & wonderful dear friend time.

Love these people!

The best ladies

Fun kiddos

Silly Boys with Chains

Sunday:

• Nice cozy day at home in freezing temps!
• We all slept in until about 1030a - LOVELY!
• Maci/Natalie did the same so Clint didn't go to pick her up until about 1130a.
• Shortly after getting home, Maci went over to her pal Harper's house to hang out.
• Connor played with some Christmas gifts (seek and find books) before heading out to ice skate on the rink with neighbor boys most of the afternoon.
• I got all Christmas put away and cleaned up the house/did laundry/ordered groceries etc.
• Everyone got home around dinner time, we ate, prepared for the week ahead and are now cheering on the Vikings against the Lions.  Clint's 'phins lost and were out and the stupid Chiefs couldn't beat the Broncos to let my Bengals in so now it is all Viking fun the rest of the season!

Ready to head back into a full week of routine and ideally temps start to warm up a bit!

Lots of Love,
